i'll never understand the people who absolutely can't stand drinking just plain water. though i guess they'll never understand how i will 100% of the time refuse water with any bullshit added for "flavor"
- Same. Huge water slut here.
  
  My second most important item that I keep near myself at all times (after my prescription glasses) is a 1.5 liter refillable water bottle.
  
  I have to remind my spouse to leave some water for the fish sometimes.
  
  Nah fish have had hundreds of millions of years to evolve lungs, losers need to get with the times /s
  
  Yeah, fuck them fish!
  
  Found The Deep!
- I was this person for ages. Our tap water had a taste growing up, and all the water fountain water in school tasted like pennies. I assumed all plain water was disgusting. My first bottled water was Dasani, so yeah, more shitty water. I assumed all bottled water was just as gross as all the other water I had.
  As an adult, I had to transition off of soda to flavored sparkling water. Then, from that, to flavored still water. Now, I can drink plain water. Most people don't even try to adjust their taste buds.
  
  Clean drinking water is a privilege in the States.
  
  Except it isn't, you can't really control certain factors regarding water flavor, hell the mile between my home and the place I stayed while my mother worked was enough for the well water to taste completely different. One was amazing, the other so hard with minerals I'm surprised it cause kidney stones
  
  Flint Michigan has something to say about that, as does much of the strip mined and fracked Appalachian mountain region where you can light the water on fire straight from the tap.
  
  You chose a single city and literally one of the most corrupt back dealing regions in the nation, the system breaking down due to graft doesn't mean clean water is a privilege.
  
  I gave you an entire geographic region, not just one corrupt city.
  
  What are you even arguing about. Their point is you can't get it everywhere, so it's a "privilege". Is this about what % constitutes a "privilege"? Why do so many threads go like this.

  8% of persons lack access to water meeting SDWA standards. That's probably only dealing with the supplies themselves. so there's also questions of things like lead contamination.
- I'm one of those people. Plain water just doesn't satisfy my craving most of the time.
  Especially in hot weather when im active I can literally drink myself sick on "plain" water and still feel the need to drink more.
  Add just about any type of flavoring (even in less than recommended amounts) and suddenly I can drink reasonable amounts of water and feel satisfied.
  
  Yea it’s called electrolytes, dude. Even a tiny bit of salt in the water will help a lot. It isn’t a “craving”; you just sweat out a bunch of salt and straight water will dilute you even further.
  And I don’t think anyone who’s a big hydrohomie, myself included, will make fun of you for smashing a gatorade in a heatwave. I love plain water but I’ll do that if I really need something now.
  
  While electrolytes definitely help, it's literally any flavoring. And again even with tiny amounts added (think hints of flavor) I'm good.
  I used the hot weather drinking to simply emphasize. Even in cold weather plain water doesn't usually satisfy the craving to drink for me.
  
  I like how you were taught something cool, and instead of choosing to learn, you rejected it and continued living in delusion.
  
  I like how you completely missed that what Soup was talking about doesn’t apply to thejoker954’s situation.
  
  I didn't miss anything.
  
  I was surprised to find Gatorade doesn't contain HFCS, just sugar and dextrose (and yeah, misc. electrolytes, including salt). I think unfortunately people mostly drink it sitting on a couch instead of in the middle of exercise, so it's not really appropriate.
  
  I wonder if you're missing something from you're diet you're not aware of. That doesn't seem normal.
  
  It's electrolytes??
  
  It's what plants crave.
  
  Its probably more like i conditioned myself to only think flavored water is satisfying
- It depends on where you live, Tapwater at my dads place is great, tapwater where I live is like a swimming pool.
  
  Get a carbon filter, makes toilet water taste like it's $5 a glass
  
  The town I live in had tap water that tasted and smelled like chlorine. I saw a job listing for a new water tech and a few months later that problem went away
- Depends on where you are and what the source is. If the tap water isn't filtered, and the only bottled water is in plastic bottles, I'll take a flavoured drink of some kind over it because I hate the taste that gets left behind by the plastic.
- Acid reflux.
  
  What?
  
  Acid reflux causes butyric acid to exit the stomach through the lower esophageal sphincter and enter the throat and potentially mouth. This causes a slight puke aftertaste to any substances imbibed. Sweet drinks can drown the vomit taste out, but water can't, so water tastes like puke.
- Even a slice of lemon?
- I used to be that way before getting into the habit of drinking water a couple years ago. I think a lot of it is just being used to drinking stuff with sugar, such that one's tastes have long since adapted to that and then you notice and are disgusted by the lack of said sweetness in the water. I remember water seeming to have a sort of bitterness to it that went away after awhile when I stopped drinking sweet tea all the time and made myself drink water.
- But fish fuck in it, don't you know?
- It took a long time of flavored water to get me off of soda, but after awhile I found I could stomach regular water.
- I once lived somewhere where the tap water was undrinkable. Ironically on the side of a fucking mountain so you’d think it would be good water.
  Apparently that particularly area has naturally high levels of arsenic in the water and higher than normal cancer rates especially stomach cancer. And I lived in a small town on the edge of a national forest so it wasn’t industry polluting water, it was naturally polluted water if you can believe that.
  Now where I live, 20 mins away, the spring water is so good you could bottle it.
  Both places are untreated well water - the current spot the well draws from the spring.
- I have often made the experience that when I'm thirsty, drinking pure water will not help it, but somehow make it worse. Drinking juice or literally anything else though (except coffee, alcohol, ...) does improve it.
  
  In my own personal experience, this insatiable thirst is due to low blood sugar (or high? getting those confused) and if I don't get some kind of sugar I get a headache. But it is not the same as regular thirst.
  And it sucks. I haven't really pieced together what triggers it for me.
  
  Electrolyte imbalance?
  
  I have the same problem except its soda. Soda (or anything carbonated really) does nothing for my thirst
